Yixing

Yixing is famous for its coloured clays and the teapots made from them. The porous nature of the clay means that the unglazed pots absorb tea oils and tannins over time, and build an attractive glossy patina. For this reason, Yixing teapots should only be used for one type of tea. They are mainly used for brewing fine oolong, black and puerh teas.
